Square Meal review of Gallipoli: ? Write your review

Gallipoli shoehorns its very grateful devotees into three narrow slices of Upper Street, the other two being Gallipoli Bazaar (107 Upper Street, N1 1QN, 020 7226 5333) & Gallipoli Again (120 Upper Street, N1 1QP, 020 7359 1578). But even that is insufficient. Tables spill out onto the pavement not just in front of the restaurants but also in front of adjacent shops, as heady punters partake of bubbling nargile pipes. Cheap Turkish food is unquestionably the main draw, but the chain’s enduring appeal also has much to do with its party atmosphere. Lanterns swing from the ceiling, vintage black & white photos of Gallipoli & Istanbul paper the walls & the aroma of grilled lamb kofte & chicken kebabs clings to wool jumpers as closely as the kitchen holds on to the recipe for its omnipresent secret sauce.

FeignedMis­chief

FeignedMis­chief ( 40s, Female, London, UK )

This is not the first time that I have been treated to (by far) the best Turkish food this side of London, because I am what you can say a habitue at the Gallipoli. This restaurant is so popular with Londoners that they have opened 2 more, also in Upper Street. So as not to confuse you where to go, the Galiipoli I am reviewing is Gallipoli 1. I have their number in my mobile in case I need to make a quick reservation which I had to do today after having been to Oxford showing my sister around as part of her 3rd UK visit.

Their meze menu is to die for but we skipped ordering it and went to order the main course. Pardon me but I totally forgot what they called these. They were both succulent lamb dishes though. For a 2-course meal without wine, it’ll cost you about £15 ppn, for a 3-course meal around £20-25 plus gratuities.
